If you have an online audience and use it to obsessively track and post about a person to mess with their emotional state and livelihood (and routinely sic your fans on them), you should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. If you did this IRL, you would be.

happy people aren't hatin' and hatin' people won't make you happy
I've seen a lot of abuse heaped on gaming industry women by men in eleven years of content creation. Not sure I've ever seen men gleefully cheer a woman getting physically battered the way they are at @dirtyeffinhippy.lianaruppert.com. I don't even know what to say, really. What CAN you say?
I appreciate all the kind messages but I had a wonderful time at GCX and it was incredibly healing for me. I don’t want to keep giving energy to the small portion of assholes. It’s being handled, I’m fine, and really just missing all the amazing people I got to have this epic experience with 💜
Morning puppy cuddles after coming back from GCX is the best feeling in the world 🥹
how it feels socializing when you’re REALLY bad about remembering faces
early morning flight, GCX goodness inbound. SO EXCITED! if you see me: 🧋I LOVE hugs, pls hug me 🧋I don’t ever remember to wear my glasses so if I don’t see you, I literally don’t see you 😭 🧋Titan mains get extra hugs see you soooooooon!
Okay I'm not going to lie, I'm genuinely pretty nervous about the Games Business 101 video course releasing at courses.ramiismail.com in like 8 hours. The course tested super well for both learning and appreciation, so I hope the people that enrolled like it as much as the test audience!

the mid-life crisis urge to sell everything, buy an abandoned house in Appalachia that’s miles from civilization, and just ghost/cryptid hunt for the rest of my life
Bungie gave me the most wonderful people in my life 🥹💜
As bittersweet as it is, happy Bungie Day 💙 I remember helping plan BD ‘23 & participated on a panel that was broadcasted to the whole studio. That day remains so special to me. Despite everything, I’m forever thankful for the amazing people I got to meet & work with. I miss them all so much ✨
new camera goodness for this fine Wednesday morning community team stream over at Owlchemy😊
the vibes this weekend are chill, whimsical, and with no fucks to give - with love 🫶
Excellent writeup by @doesitplay.org exposing the manipulation of statistics by PlayStation through context obfuscation. TL;dr Sony is using a statistic without proper context to astroturf the decision to dump physical media. www.patreon.com/doesitplay/p...

Everyone is talking about the digital-physical-split percentages. So we will too! The TL;DR: Most of what has been parroted about consumer p

Destiny didn’t fall short of expectations, LEADERSHIP did. Some of the most out of touch people who only saw the $ & held a beloved franchise to the coals because it didn’t fit their margins. Devs suffocated under the immeasurable weight of their greed. Everyone who has worked there deserves better.
Disastrous leadership continues to be rewarded, protected, and paid out with their golden toilets. I hope they get everything they *truly* deserve, and that’s guilt, shame, and hopefully some actual fucking reflection. Fuck you.
Funny how it’s always the people who actually worked at the studio and not the select few who are responsible for all its poor decisions
Every fandom would play the hell out of a dating sim in their chosen world and I know I am correct. I KNOW I AM CORRECT.
Destiny 2 devs repeatedly pitched a dating sim, Bungie veterans say, "but leadership was very Hard No that nobody wanted romance or silliness" www.gamesradar.com/games/destin...
sometimes you gotta just drop a cheap kiddie pool down in your backyard on your lunchbreak with a cute dog and a cozy book 🤷♀️
SOMEBODYYYYYYY whoshallremainunnamed decided she wanted to partake in some 🐝 dining fare.
being whimsical in the face of everything that wants to turn you into stone is an act of rebellion. proud of u, ya little chaotically whimsical rebellious weirdos
this industry is far more demoralizing than it is uplifting. it feels like any scrap of goodness gets twisted and destroyed. i get why so many have left in droves for good, this shit is heartbreaking
